I'm not a murderino. I'm far too much of a scaredy-cat and tend to deeply visualize the stories they tell, creepy depictions that get stuck in my brain and are hard to process. I've listened to a few podcast eps I felt I could "handle" and am totally enamored with Karen & Georgia's banter and friendship. Despite other reviews I've read, I don't think you have to be a fan of their podcast or its premise to thoroughly enjoy this. I'm convinced this book is truly for everyone! It was made to be an audiobook (which is how I read it). Part of the joy is that both Karen and Georgia write so casually and in such a specific, self-referential voice that I'm not sure reading it on the page would do it as much justice. Plus, they make a joke at the beginning about how the book is narrated by Georgia, Karen and Paul Giamatti. I thought, what a weird little joke to put in there! But lo and behold, Paul Giamatti's voice comes in to narrate snippets between chapters. A gorgeous choice. The audiobook also intersperses live readings from their events, and the cheers of support from the audience and the emotion—sometimes tears—in their voices is so captivating. Reading this has made me want to try more episodes because I just love them so goddamn much. True role models.
I listened to the audiobook on Overdrive because I haven't listened to their podcast and I wasn't sure if I would like the book. I enjoyed it so much I think I'll use my June audible credit to get it so I can listen to it again and again! It's entertaining, funny, honest, and full of female empowerment and good advice. Love!
This simply wasn't the book I thought it was going to be. When I figured out what it's really about around chapter 3, I just wanted to finish as quickly as possible so I could go read other things.
Didn't expect this book to make me cry but here we are! Karen and Georgia forever.
This was a DNR at 60% in but I’m counting it. I don’t know these podcasters and frankly don’t want to. The audio on this is awful; the authors are reading it. It is cheaply done and it switches constantly from a ‘live’ taping where they read chapters to their audience and then back to a sound booth reading. On top of that, there is a guy who reads parts of the book.. just all over the place. Audio narrators are trained professionals and know how to ‘read’ the text for a listener. It is not just reading pages which these women do.
Crazy, annoying, and not funny. Surprised I got this far.

As a listener of the podcast, I genuinely wonder if these ladies are aware of how privileged some of the shit that comes out of their mouth is...really wanted to like this. Really didn't.
I am a fan of Karen and Georgia's podcast but I didn't really look into this book when it came out. I thought it was going to be about true crime. I was so very wrong. Turns out it is a memoir/self-help book. The two authors did a great job of writing this book. I listened to this book and I really enjoyed how the audio was composed with most of the narration done by the authors and a few special guests. I laughed out loud and I cried multiple times. I had a wonderful time listening to this book.
